Bio
______________________________________________________________ Lucky Overton writes and performs a mixture of Americana, Alternative Country and American roots music that is mostly influenced by 60's and 70's country, rock and R&B. Lucky Overton's music has been compared to acts such as Robert Earl Keen and The Rolling Stones to Otis Redding and Paul Westerberg. The result is a sound that can only be described as ‘Soulful Americana.' _____________________________________________________________ "Lucky Overton wraps his smoky pipes around little gems of Country and Soul, bordering at times on a less-raspy Paul Westerberg or a slightly more soulful Pete Droge. Overton's cadence and music conjure the story-telling of Robert Earl Keen. Overton is a musical mutt who touches on many respected peers without getting pigeonholed into being the "next" somebody. That works for Overton. His working-man songs smolder, keeping the emotions close to the vest without ever allowing them to burst out. It creates a wonderful tension as he moves through his songs. His first full length and second release shows a young artist with promise as he refines his own sound." -- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music, 7/24/08 www.milesofmusic.com ______________________________________________________________ "Lucky Overton is a singer-songwriter who strives for a perfect mix of Alternative Country and Soul. He does that very cleverly on this CD. As a follow-up to his 2006 "Portland Sessions", "College Town" should establish for Lucky Overton a well-earned place in the crowded field of Americana talents." -Valsam, Rootstime, Belgium, 6/27/08 www.rootstime.be ______________________________________________________________ “It's soulful Americana! It’s like driving through the desert at midnight with no headlights and disappearing into the distant rhythm of heartbreak, hope and desperation. I am the bastard son of GramParsons and Aretha Franklin. I’m Ray Charles with a guitar in a country bar. I’m soulful, I’m white, and I’m Dylan doing nothing but Nashville Skyline. It’s the music that makes you feel like Sam Cook, Hank Williams and Otis Redding are still alive.” -Lucky Overton ______________________________________________________________ "Lucky Overton's debut CD, The Portland Sessions-EP is a collection of powerful original acoustic material. The ever present raw emotion of each song is both clear and honest." -Lumberjack News ______________________________________________________________ “Lucky Overton is persistent. The hard work compliments Lucky’s sincere, soulful acoustic sound. I hate to use the term “Americana folk,” but it just fits so well. It is good, though. His lyrics are thoughtful and reflective and the music sets the perfect mood for a dimly lit bar or coffeehouse. This guy could make a ton of side cash being a sonic muse for up and coming writers. You know you’re good when you could probably make a killing inspiring things around you.” -Mike Williams , The Noise, 5/01/08, www.thenoise.us/Noise ...... ©2007 J.Marose .. ........ .. .... ...... ....George's Myspace Editor v1.0 BETA..
